Forty Guns (1957)


An authoritarian rancher rules an Arizona county with her private posse of hired guns.

An over-the top and unconventional Western, typical of its director, full of audacious artistic ideas and memorable scenes, splendid use of cinemascope photography - and a lot of blatant sexual innuendo.

Halliwell*: "Heavily melodramtic and slow-moving Western with a few effective moments."

Maltin**1/2: "Florid, wildly dramatic Sam Fuller Western..."
